[The second the shields slam down Grimm back-steps, a reflex born from being burned by the Radiance's dreams once in the past. Yet he is back at the solid veil of light keeping him away from the Vessel.
He should have known this would happen. Grimm was counting on the fact that they were too weak to put up a barrier and perhaps if they noticed the child, they'd respond to the Vessel's presence with a little tact. He understood why they are responding the way they are but clearly not interrogating the child who clearly did not completely understand what was going on was too much to ask for.
But this was on Grimm for failing to act quickly to spare the Vessel and it is on him now to respond quickly. His fist slams against the shield and a large burst of red dream-catcher particles bursting from the sheer force of the strike. It will likely attract the attention of the rest of the Grimm Troupe but Grimm has no choice.
On the edges of the dream a voice echos, a power knocking quietly on the metaphorical door. The flame's voice is deep and raw, a voice that has not spoken in eons. Rusted from disuse the Nightmare King's voice seeps into the dream and worms into the fears of those present. The Vessel's panic of what is happening to them and the Dreamers' fear at their presence....it is the voice of horror, the moment when a good dream changes to a nightmare.
"Teacher...Watcher...Beast.
Vessel...
Begone...or I will burn you all alive."
The shield shatters with a loud crack in reality, brought down by Grimm's hands and the Dreamers' retreat. Grimm will not wait for the Vessel to stand and instead scoops them up before dashing out of the Resting Grounds.]
